Comments Thread For: Hearn: Brook Deserves Respect, Gave Golovkin a Hell of a Fight!

[SteveM]

You box? Spar? Do anything? Dude deserves plenty of credit...he showed that skill can indeed beat power when used right. Too bad a prime Floyd wasn't just a little bigger or that a prime RJJ wasn't at the division to give that clown a boxing lesson he would never forget.

If you're saying it would need a larger prime FJM or RJJ to give Golovkin a boxing lesson then I thing you are praising Golovkin without realising it.

He tried to run brook over in the first 2 rounds tho and brook won like 3 of them with a broken eye socket so what exactly are you talking about?

When he started to jab and go to the body in an organized manner the fight ended.

Did you actually watch the fight or were seeing what you wanted to see

1. Almost got KOed in First Round
2. Lost by Compue-Box numbers
3. Gave up in 5th round.

WHAT RESPECT ???????

Martin Murray was a big MW and is now at SMW you idiot. Brook, a WW, did more damage to GGG than murray did in 10 rounds.

Murray is not a ****ing SMW, he's a bloated SMW who has no business being in that division. He's slow, bad shape, and more fragile at SMW. He's going back to MW if he continues his career so that's BS what you're saying there.

And do you really think Brook is a natural WW? He kills himself to make WW he should be a JMW minimum and there's literally like a 1% chance he goes back to WW.

You sound like a ****ing idiot yourself with the bull**** lies in your post.

Brook did his thing, just wasn't boxing big enough for a MW. I was impressed with his losing. He showed me he had more skills than when he he fought Porter.

Bring on Canelo.

I didn't like the fight when it was announced. It was just too dangerous for Brook.

Khan (against Canelo) escaped relatively unscathed compared to the damage Brook suffered on Saturday. That broken eye socket could affect the rest of his career. Maybe he never fights again?

In the 5th round, I could tell he had had enough. He stopped fighting even while GGG kept throwing bombs. Fortunately his trainer was sharp enough to spot this and saved him from further damage. I hope Brook heals completely and continues to fight.

What were the scores at the time of stoppage?

“Fans always want to fighters step up and fight the best and he did that,” Hearn said. “Kell stepped up from welterweight to middleweight. He wanted the big fights and it was a hell of a fight. I think Kell deserves lot of respect.” When the fight was stopped, Brook was ahead on the scorecards. Hearn says his fighter would have continued for as long as he was physically possible. “Kell stepped up and fought the best, he was ahead on the scorecards but at the end of the day his eye socket has gone. He would fight all night but – I know the fans want to see the fight go on as long as possible – but you can’t be fighting a guy like Golovkin when you can’t focus on the guy. Kell deserves a huge amount of respect and I believe he is still one of the best fighters in the world. For five or six rounds he has given Golovkin a hell of a fight.” - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/hearn-bro....Ptoh5p8y.dpuf

Fans were not asking for this fight. Every smart boxing fan said this was a clear mismatch.

Before the fight he was a middleweight now all of a sudden hes mentioning coming from welterweight

Of course brook was gonna land punches on someone coming in like a freight train.

And bringing up woefully imcompetent or corrupt scorecards is embarassing

Has GGG said brook gave him toughest fight? Probably not. Might have posed different problems though
